The photo contest "Big Pictures of Small Places: My Hromada - Our Future", which took place from 23 April to 20 May 2018, was organised by the Ministry of Regional Development, Construction, Housing, and Communal Services of Ukraine (MinRegion) with the support of the U-LEAD with Europe Programme to show the beauty and diversity of life in Ukrainian hromadas and the changes they are undergoing towards modern, capable hromadas. Active people are key players in this process of change! You can have a look at all photos submitted at https://hromady.photos/

The winning photos that have been selected out of 1200 photos submitted will be presented in an exhibition that will travel across Ukraine.
